Insane mix of cars, speed, explosions, blood and zombies! Fight through an epic narrative campaign or test yourself in the Slaughter and Blood Race modes. Engage huge bosses, save survivors, drive crazy vehicles such as a bulldozer, fire truck or even a tank and smash everything in your way.

One of these steps usually help:
1. You can run the configuration window, before you start the game.
You should have an option to "Configure Zombie Driver HD" after you press the "play" button on steam.
2. Also you can try to delete config file if you h...

Bottom line:An enjoyable and attractive, if somewhat frustrating, top-down driving game in the vein of the original GTA games. Has less complex missions, however spices things up with seriously large hordes of zombies to brutalise with heavy weapons!

Pros:

Video and audio are generally pleasing. The maps and vehicles have a lot of gritty detail and weather and lighting effects are put to good use. The particle and gore effects are suitably over-the-top and make firing rockets into zombie mobs a very satisfying experience.

Multiple game modes provide a great amount of content for the price and also offer a variety of experiences. This is a good thing, because the story missions generally feel much the same. In particular, I found the Slaughter mode (arena) to be challenging and required both tactical and strategic thinking to reach round 20 and beyond. Racing includes a variety of different events, in which the aim is either racing, destroying opponents, or driving as far as possible with a bomb attached to your car! Sadly, I found all modes spoiled more often that not by the difficulty in identifying "hard" obstacles and the unpredictable handling of the vehicles during collisions.

Weapon variety is decent and effective, but fairly uninspired. Power-ups are all incremental improvements until the last level, where power is doubled. Specialisation usually plays second fiddle to whatever happens to be lying around your general vicinity at the time.

No crashes in the ten or so hours spent in game (Windows 8).

Cons:

Unpredictable behaviour when hitting walls and other obstructions; sometimes you bounce, sometimes you stop dead, sometimes you instantly spin 180 degrees. A little frustrating in the main game, immensely frustrating in the race events! Came close to rage quitting a few times in this mode... Apart from this, the controls are fine (used M&KB).

What "story" there is remains utterly predictable throughout and voice acting is excruciating. I am sure its tongue in cheek, but its still horrible.

Performance drops and wavers noticeably once there are a lot of zombies on the screen. This is mainly an issue in arena mode, where huge hordes are a common occurence. This is on an i5 3570K with an AMD 6950.

DLC:

Mostly forgettable...

The included vehicles are overpowered and spoil the progression of the story mode a little.

If you are still looking for more of the same after completing the game, you won't be disappointed with the additional race and arena maps. If you are expecting something different, don't bother.
